Do it for the kids

Today we had some environmental awareness at the school. Jessie and Jessica (other Peace Corps volunteers here in Vava’u) visited my school to help me teach the kids about recycling. We have a recycling cage at the school, thanks to Jessie, and the kids have really gotten excited and filled the cage in about a week.

We weighed it out and they collected 33 kilos and there is a company that pays 60 cents a kilo, so the kids made 20 bucks picking up cans. I’m excited about where our recycling efforts could go with the schools here in Vava’u. initiative

James - Found your blog via Facebook and it's so great to see the amazing work you're doing in Tonga. Will track your progress. How are your students set with books? I do some volunteering with an organization called Room to Read - maybe we can help.
